How to Search Alaska Property Records (Start Here)
Property records in Alaska are maintained at the borough level. The Borough Assessor handles property valuations and assessment data. The Borough Treasurer handles tax bills and payments. These are separate offices with separate databases.
What this page covers: Alaska property assessment lookups, tax record searches, and parcel/ownership data. What it does not cover: Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages (those are on the Recorded Documents page) or property transfer history.
Where to start: For property values and tax assessments, start with the Borough Assessor. For tax payment history and bills, go to the Borough Treasurer. For ownership verification, you may need both the assessment records and the recorded documents.
Common mistake: Property assessment records (values and taxes) and recorded documents (deeds and liens) are maintained by different offices in Alaska. The Borough Assessor handles assessments; the District Recorder (state DNR) handles recordings. Search both if you need the full picture.

In Alaska, property records — including parcel data, assessed value, deeds, and tax history — are primarily maintained at the borough level by each borough's Assessor and Recorder. Statewide oversight and reporting are provided by the Official Alaska Property Records at www.tax.alaska.gov. See the cards below or the borough page for direct local search links.
Is there a free statewide Alaska property search?▼
Alaska does not have a single statewide free property search; deed and assessment data are searched at the borough level. The Official Alaska Property Records publishes statewide property-tax rules and aggregate data at www.tax.alaska.gov; for individual parcels, use the borough assessor or recorder.
What's the difference between the Assessor and the Recorder in Alaska?▼
The borough Assessor determines property values for tax purposes and maintains the parcel roll. The borough Recorder (sometimes Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other instruments affecting title. In some Alaska boroughs these are combined offices; in others they're separate. The Official Alaska Property Records at www.tax.alaska.gov publishes the full list.
How do I find an Alaska parcel ID (APN/PIN)?▼
Parcel identification numbers (APN, PIN, or parcel number depending on the borough) are assigned by the borough assessor. They appear on every tax bill and on the borough's online property-search interface. Once you have the parcel ID you can look up assessed value, ownership history, and recorded documents through the borough site; the statewide overview is at www.tax.alaska.gov.
How do I challenge an Alaska property assessment?▼
Assessment appeals in Alaska are filed at the borough level with the local assessment appeals board, typically within a deadline set after annual valuation notices are mailed. The Official Alaska Property Records publishes the statewide rules, deadlines, and appeal forms at www.tax.alaska.gov.
